A review by powisamy
Read with Pride by Lucy Powrie
RTC
I was a massive fan of the first book and this one is no exception.
I loved the focus on pride and the hopeful nature of the book although Lucy still does tackle the subject of burn out, something which I definitely experienced as a teenager but had no idea about. I, therefore, connected so much to Olivia as a character and sympathised with her. I also liked that the book gave voices to a lot of different pride voices in the book but especially asexuality, especially demisexuality, which definitely needs to be explored more.
I also loved the rest of the new additions to the book in terms of characters and I love the rest of the Paper & Hearts gang, especially Ed, and it was interesting to see how this linked into school life.
Basically, I really enjoyed it and everyone should always read with pride!
